Founded in the rugged wilderness of the Blue Mountains in 1995, Outback Adventures began as a dream shared by two passionate adventurers, Sarah Mitchell and Marcus Thompson. After years of exploring Australia's hidden gems as independent travelers, they recognized a gap in the tourism market – a need for authentic, environmentally conscious travel experiences that honored both the natural landscape and Aboriginal cultural heritage.
What started as weekend hiking tours for small groups of nature enthusiasts has evolved into Australia's premier sustainable tourism company. Our journey has been marked by countless memorable expeditions, from intimate wildlife encounters in Tasmania's ancient forests to profound cultural exchanges with Aboriginal elders in the heart of the Red Centre. Each adventure has deepened our commitment to preserving Australia's extraordinary natural and cultural treasures for future generations.
Today, nearly three decades later, we continue to operate with the same core values that inspired our founders: respect for the environment, authentic cultural engagement, and the belief that travel should enrich both visitors and local communities. Our transformation from a local tour operator to an internationally recognized leader in eco-tourism reflects our unwavering dedication to sustainable practices and exceptional guest experiences.
